A long time favorite

Ornette: The Empty Foxhole

I never thought of the holiday aspect. You're probably right. I just figured that his films are better loved in Europe than they are in the U.S. and he wanted to take advantage of that. But the "grand holiday" makes sense.

Sonny Rollins: Newk's Time

I'll have to watch it. Even if I have seen it before, it will still by like seeing it for the first time. Even minor Woody Allen is worth seeing for me.

- One of my all time favorite Mingus recordings

I'm a Woody Allen fan, but I have no memory of this one. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

Orchestra Baobab: On Verra Ça (World Circuit)

Sonny Rollins: "The Alternative Rollins"

Jacob do Bandolin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_do_Bandolim Esau Isaac

The Fool on the Hill The Fall Courtney Love

Roswell Rudd Trio: The Unheard Herbie Nichols Vol. 1 (CIMP)

Buck Clayton CBS Jam Sessions - LP 3

I'm sure I don't have perfect pitch, but does it sound to anyone else as if, at times, Ms. Ross sings a little flat on this recording? If so, could it have something to do with the fact that there's no piano on the date and that some singers need a chordal instrument backing them? Or am I just hearing things wrong?

Annie Ross Sings a Song with Mulligan!

Satch Plays Fats

Africando Volume 2 (Sterns)

I can understand (and agree with) your feelings completely.

Duke Jordan: Duke's Delight

Duke Ellington: Anatomy of a Murder

The Complete CBS Buck Clayton Jam Sessions - LP 2 It doesn't get much sweeter than this.

Clifford Brown: The Beginning and the End Turns out that it's just the beginning and not exactly the end, but that's ok. The music is what counts.

Introducing Doug Raney Hard to believe that he was 21 or 22 when this was recorded.

Hope that one's on the desert island if I end up there.
